The ruling on spraying insects with pesticides to eliminate them

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, regarding gnats, cockroaches, and some other insects, we spray them with pesticides to eliminate them. Honorable Shaykh, is there anything wrong with that?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. Whatever causes harm and whose harm cannot be repelled except by killing it, is killed. It is killed if its harm cannot be repelled except by killing it. Yes.
